Step-by-step solution
Transgenic animals can be specifically designed to allow the study of how genes are regulated, and how they affect the normal functions of the body and its development. Transgenic animals are used to treat disease in humans. Products such as human protein alpha-1-antitrypsin used to treat emphysema. . In 1997, the first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced human protein-enriched milk (2.4 grams per litre).
